Played Both Versions of this game and the alpha and Beta.
One of the better things of the game and if you want to play easy form there are plenty of helpful items in the game to make it too easy to play.

Playing at Normal settings is still pretty easy but there is a bit more challenge.

But play the game with none of the line help things such as putting, driving, and the other things that give help making the game easy.
Get a set of clubs that have harder to handle features.

So you can tweak the game to be as easy as you want (Lets say playing it with your children or people who know nothing about golf) making it so they do not get disgruntled and quit after just a few holes or 5 min on the driving range.

So if you find it too easy to play at first TWEAK it until it fits your play style.

Biggest thing I found to help in playing is **Set your mouse speed to 1600-1200 DPI.
Also go to the driving range and try to get a Perfect swing, as you set it harder and harder just like in gold doing you swing CONSISTENTLY is a MUST.

Here's hoping you get a Head-Shot while playing OOPS I mean Hole in one.

Hope this helps out even just a little.
